Dear Sir,
I am Barrister John Dickson, the Personal Attorney to a Foreign
Contractor who worked with a Multinational Oil Firm in Nigeria. On the
21st of April 1999, my client, his wife And their three children were
involved in a car accident along Sagbama Express Road. All occupants of
the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives.Since then I have made
several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the
Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail, henceI
contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist me in repartrating the money left behind
by my client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by
the Bank where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank
where the deceased had an account valued at about US$15 million dollars
has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confisicated within the next twenthy official working days. since I
have been unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives for over 5 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the
deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at $15 million
dollars can be paid to you and then you and I can share this money. 70%
to me and 25% to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your
government may require,I have all necessary legal documents that can
be used to back up any claim we may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal
through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please
get in touch with me via my email as soon as you get this mail to
enable us discuss on the modalities and process for success
of this transaction.
I also request for your private telephone number, fax number for easy
and more confidential communication. I await your kind response.You can
